    Panolin biodegradable hydraulic oil?

    I've used bio hydraulic oil in one of my Menzi Muck's A91, no real difference form the other A91 that ran 68, panolin is expensive we ended using a cheaper alternative of bio oil. What brand of spider are you buying?

    Abrasion Resistent Poly Carbonate Plastic

    I use it all the time on my Menzi Mucks, the fine scratches will polish out with fine car Polish. I cut it using a circular saw, works well. The stuff I use is 4.5mm thick.

    O&K RH25 in Darriman Vic, was working in a lime pit, weighed in at 50 tons. Still sitting there, they use a 30 tonnes tracked machine now, lot more effective.

    Menzi Muck 5000T2 Questions

    Haha, yeah, little bit steeper than it looks in the pics Trent, the low impact aspect of the machine is the attractive advantage that the customers like. Movindirt, four foot peddles, two main joysticks and three micro joysticks on each main joystick, these control the undercarriage, foot...

    experiences opinions on excavators for embankments and slopes spider type

    I'm a big fan of Menzi Muck, mainly because that is what I own, I've never even seen another walking excavator, they are that rare in Australia. I would stick to one of he major brands like Menzi Muck, Kaiser, Euromach or Batemag. What might seem like a cheap machine in the initial stages will...

    experiences opinions on excavators for embankments and slopes spider type

    I've had a Menzi Muck A91C for three years now and have been on it full time. Great machine, John Deere Engine, rexroth hydraulics, nothing really to go majorly wrong, service it every 250hrs, had a few electrical issues but nothing more major than rubbed through wires. Unless you've had...

    Self assembleable excavator?

    I would be looking at spider type excavator, Menzi Muck, Kaiser, Batemag or Euromach, these types of machines are often choppered into areas of limited access by helicopter, there is a bit of stuff on Google.

    Isuzu E120 ?

    I've got the same motor in my old Isuzu truck its a SPG540 Isuzu if that helps, looked in my manual but nil part numbers, might be worth getting onto you Isuzu dealer, surprising what info the dealers have sometimes, great old motor if they are not worked hard.

    Extend-a-hoe slide lubrication

    While not a backhoe as such, just use normal grease on the extender hoe on my menzi muck, it just runs on Teflon sliders or packers.

    Most cost efficent way to replace front glass (flat, for a JD 490D)?

    I made my own windscreens for my Menzi Muck using lexan, pay $140 a sheet and cut myself using a vibratory cutting tool, work really well, also polishes up ok using a very fine polish.

    The most complicated machine

    Proper use and operation of a walking excavator. Graders are a walk in the park in comparison IMHO
